How to edit from PowerShell admin.microsoft.com > Users > Active Users > Multi-factor authentication

Question

Multi-factor authentication has various settings which can be managed from admin.microsoft.com > Users > Active Users > Multi-factor authentication. I am looking for a way to manage them from PS. I am interested in changing settings for 'app passwords' and 'verification options'.

Hi Oleg Tserkovnyuk , if I understood you correctly, you want to change the settings for app passwords and verification options of MFA global via Powershell. Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment, as there is no cmdlet or Graph API endpoint for this. However, it is possible to request/change the StrongAuthenticationType attribute on a per-user basis. The MSol-Online module provides this with the Get-MsolUser ... -StrongAuthenticationType. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/msonline/get-msoluser?view=azureadps-1.0 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/msonline/set-msoluser?view=azureadps-1.0 I think this is not what you want.
